I have had over 35 years experience in business management.  After graduation from college, I served 3 years of active duty as an officer in the U.S.A.F.  before entering the "wonderful" world of manufacturing.

     Along with being the Executive Vice-President and Chief Operations Officer for a multi-million dollar manufacturing company, Roosevelt Mills, Inc. I successfully set up a chain of seven company outlet stores in Connecticut and Massachusetts.

     My experience comes from years of ‘hands on’ management that included "day-to-day" operations, long-range planning, facilities management, the computerizing of manufacturing and retail operations, controlling finances, financial negotiations, dealing with labor relations, and creating copy for retail & wholesale advertising in newspapers, on radio and TV, and mail order.
